The Importance of Spaces

 

By Elton Camp

 

Use of spaces between words is quite vital

This is true in the case of a professional title

“Therapist” became “The Rapist” on a door

By the insertion of just a single space more

 

“Fashion Exchange” is a resale clothing store

Which sells only things that were worn before

Another, surely used children’s clothes does carry

But, “KIDSEXCHANGE” makes all parents wary
